Commercial Description:
From the deep dark depths of our Brewmaster’s imagination comes this rich and monstrous oatmeal stout. Our Sea Monster embodies all that the true dark beer aficionado will appreciate: roasted coffee notes, with hints of bittersweet chocolate and currant flavors all brought together by a perfect hop balance. Don’t fear the Monster! Our Robust Series gives all beer lovers an opportunity to try our most rare beers, previously available only on draft at select tap houses. Enjoy!

Bottle, 8% at LCRBM08. Weak fruity aroma. Black colour, small brown head. Roasted and slightly sweet, well-balanced. Needs a bit of the carbonation swirled out of it.
